Thinking narratively: qualitative research "on the road"
Čermák, Ivo
The role of narrativity in the process of qualitative research is briefly described in the paper. In narrative research, mathodological canons of representativness, method, and expert position in research are abandoned, validity is replaced by concept of finding trustworthiness, and sharing, participative-dialogical interpretation and meaning re-construction are emphasized. The story is considered a basis and also an object of narrative research. Stories are interpretations of life and an individual became an autobiographic narrativity. Story is a tool of identity construction and also reflection and can be labelled as a narrative identity. The aim of narrative research lies in good-story construction, which has not to be contradictory to the searching of truth. Narrative research is a way toward narrative knowing. Continuous communication with different versions of human research is a basic principle of narrative methodology and protection against rigidity.

After this, narrative data(first of all the autobiographical interviews) are specified as a partial, contextual expression of structuring tje experience. Futher, the mthod of narrative research, which consists of reconstructing the making of the meaning by narrative means, is characterized. In frame of this process, researcher attempts to grasp, reveal and acent the structures of giving the meaning to experience as the structures constructed by narrative means. In this theoretical and methodological frame of reference, a set of categories, which can serve as a conceptual schema in the process of narrative reconstruction of meaning, are discussed.
